Abstract

Methods and network nodes (110, 112), serving a user equipment (120), for deciding if a handover request of the user equipment (120) is to be sent to a candidate target network node (130-1, 130-2, 130-3). The methods comprise acquire (603) data-rate performance of a wireless link between the network nodes (110, 112) and the user equipment (120). The data-rate performance is compared (606) with a data-rate performance threshold value. If the acquired data-rate performance is lower than the data-rate performance threshold value, it is decided (607) to send the handover request of the user equipment (120) to the candidate target network node (130-1, 130-2, 130-3).
